The nature of my invention relates to an improvement in the construction of wardrobes and consists in a frame-work constructed of metallic or other rods or tubes held in position by screws, and covered with a suitable textile material, having a sliding rod on one side, forth.

In order to enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains to make and use the same, I will now proceed to describe its construction and operation, referring to the annexed drawing, in which- Figure 1 represents a perspective view of the wardrobe. Fig. 2 represents a cross-section of the same through the lineman. Fig. 3 IS a horizontal section through the line y y.

The metallic or other bars or tubes A and A are held in position by screws a, and form a rectangular frame, supported by the four vertical rods or tubes A, or by ornamental legs F, affixed to the rods or bars A. The said frame is covered with oil-cloth, reps, or any suitable textile, B, fastened to the bars A and A with rings or otherwise. The bars A, forming the top of the frame-work, are provided with hooks c, forthe purpose of hanging up clothes thereon.

This wardrobe, being supported by the bars A or the legs F, has the advantage of other portable wardrobes of not requiring to be hung on hooksor nails in the wall, thus being capable of supporting clothes of heavier weight.
